After Action Report
In Portland, the 76ers survived the Trail Blazers 85-84. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the 76ers. 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the 76ers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 76ers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
